Great shots djm. My money's on the guy in the yellow and black stripes.

Why is it so hard to post pics on this forum? We need some instructions posted somewhere. I'd like to post some pics (but haven't managed to so far, not keen on signing up to Yahoo just for this) and it's a real shame that photographers with the skills and locations of basilic are no longer able to post reliably either...

Maybe one of the Mods can help please?
:lol: :beerchug:

One of the easier ways IMHO is just put your photo here
https://postimage.io/ (its free no login needed)

Then after upload which is quite fast there
You are presented with numerous ways to link

Just click the icon to the right of the link
I think the one that works best for forums is the 3rd from bottom called "Hotlink for forums"

Just click the icon to the right of that Hotlink for forums & it will be automatically copied

Then right click in your post here & select paste and your all done...like so... :wink: hope that helps

For me it worked just fine using the photos directly from Google Photos. I just right click (Chrome) the image in Google Photos, copy the direct image address and add it to the IMG tag here.

Obviously it could've been easier for those who are not familiar with Google Photos, Photobucket, Flickr or any other free online photo service. In my case Google has already resized and compressed my photos compared to my originals. Storage is cheap these days, so Starbike could probably host all our photos and let the admin here add an upload feature to the phpBB forum software.

Nice shots kingtom! Where exactly is that? Having lived in Konstanz the area looks quite familiar?

Nice!

I'd say I wish I had a commute like that, but I don't know how often I'd actually make it to work on time if I started off riding there...

Thanks flying.

Trying that now...


Just to show that we don't just have earthquakes here in Christchurch but also fires:

Over the hill, and down into Pt Levy which is the second harbour away from home. Taken during a summer ride (105km, 2,500m):

More recent shot, top of the first hill looking down into Lyttelton Harbour (one harbour closer to town than Pt Levy):

And here from an Mtb day (can you spot the trail?):

The guy on the front here looks like Tyler Hamilton, I did a double take when I saw it.

Yesterday, i took another way back home. F***ing steep hill. 550m climbing within 5.5km, and some 'flat' parts at the bottom means, its really steep. I wasn't able to took any pics during the ascent.

But finally, the view is awesome.ImageImage
